What lovecountry17 likes about The Last Anchor:
Lovely restaurant with great views and good prices! Reason for 4 stars is service is always quite slow when I’ve been. I’ve been for lunch and breakfast and the food is amazing! View all feedback. What Harald'r Bradshaw doesn't like about The Last Anchor:
Greasy Spoon with decently priced sizable portions. Be careful when ordering salmon, It's smoked on site, not cold smoked and tastes like poached salmon. Not great communication between kitchen and floor. We went when there were two big parties and we had pre-booked. Despite a few walk ins it was about half full. 50 min from sit down to getting food. Good coffee and cabin style atmosphere. Nice views of the marina. View all feedback.

Really disappointed with the menu choice. Service poor. Some friends enjoyed their meal but others did not. Staff were not ‘au fait’ with menu.

The Last Anchor offers a beautiful location at the marina with great views and reasonable prices. However, recent reviews mention slow service, issues with food quality, and wait times for meals. Despite these concerns, some guests still enjoyed the tasty food, generous portions, and friendly staff. With potential to be one of the best restaurants in Ipswich if they improve service and staffing levels, The Last Anchor continues to attract visitors seeking a lovely dining experience. With impressive dishes like Asian pulled lamb loaded chips and bottomless prosecco brunch, this restaurant has the potential to shine with better management.

The pub serves high-quality food with generous portions. The staff can be a bit unfriendly, likely due to being understaffed and lack of support from the owners...
